I am extremely confident that the training by Dr Amanda gave our mentoring program the momentum to move forward, and gave our Executive Team the necessary air to breathe through it.

I came into this course with very high expectations, but you more than met them. The fact that your approach is based on science – not just the opinion of an eloquent speaker – gives me much more faith in your principles than in regular business teaching.

I saw a significant improvement in the quality of my team’s presentations thanks to the work my managers did with Dr. Amanda. Further, I hired Dr Amanda for a specific Personal Effectiveness coaching assignment for a member of my team. I was very satisfied with the outcome and I would use Sara Black International again.

Your course pushed me out of the status quo method of presenting. By the end of the course, I was able to grab the audience's attention, keep them focused and was confident that they went away with the message I wanted them to go away with. Brilliant course! I would highly recommend this course.

I expected the course to be about power point, but it turned out to be a methodology on how to improve the way we present by following ten simple principles that changed the way I look at giving presentations.
